I'm with Steve on Franklin,and Lloyd George. Rich was always generous with his time and his knowledge and taught me a lot of songs which I still sing. Of course ,in the folk club unwritten rules of those days,I didn't sing any of them at Beverley because they were "his" songs....though I remember that whoever was first on in the evening managed to snaffle "The Recruited Collier"
These days I can't sing "Rose of Allandale" without thinking of him.
